snp-crcli

Crawl a website — or a published Google Slides deck — and save what you find as PNG, JPEG, PPTX, or DOCX. No flags needed; running snp on its own launches an interactive wizard.

Install

npm install -g snp-crcli

Requires Node 18+. A headless Chromium build installs automatically on first setup.

Usage

Interactive wizard (recommended for first-time use):

snp

Direct CLI mode:

snp -u https://example.com -o ./shots -f pptx -m 25

Google Slides (use the published link: File > Share > Publish to web):

snp -u "https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-.../pub" -f docx -m 30

Shorten a link:

snp --sl "https://example.com/some/very/long/path"

Uninstall:

snp uninstall

Full command list:

snp --help

How it decides a page is "ready"

Instead of waiting on network events — which never quiet down on sites like Google Slides that keep background connections open — snp hashes the visible frame every ~200ms and waits until the picture stops changing before it screenshots. On Slides specifically, it also reads the on-screen page counter, so a slide with a multi-step build animation gets captured only once it's fully revealed, not mid-build.

Flags

| Flag | Description | Default | |---|---|---| | -u, --url <url> | Starting URL or Slides link | — | | -o, --out <dir> | Output directory | ./screenshots | | -f, --format <format> | png, jpeg, pptx, or docx | your saved default | | -m, --max <number> | Max pages or slides | 50 | | -d, --depth <number> | Max link depth (websites only) | 3 | | --all-domains | Also follow links off the starting domain | off (same-domain only) | | --width <px> / --height <px> | Viewport size | 1440 / 900 | | --sl <url> | Shorten a URL and exit | — |

Output

• png / jpeg: individual screenshots plus a _manifest.json mapping URL → file
• pptx / docx: a single compiled document; the intermediate screenshots are deleted after bundling
